Alton’s second team lost by seven wickets at league leaders Parley.

The Brewers won the toss and batted first, but lost Ryan Hale early on.

Michael Heffernan (48) put some pressure back on the hosts, but Parley’s spinners pegged Alton back.

Despite some late runs from Arul Appavoo (38 not out), Alton were bowled out for a below-par 191.

The hosts batted sensibly in reply and knocked the runs off in the 43rd over.
